I had an excellent experience with Samir at Manak solicitors. Prior to contacting Samir I had consulted with two other solicitors, both of whom declined to take my case as they did not believe a satisfactory resolution could be reached. However, Samir very quickly secured the best possible outcome and throughout the process he was highly professional, kind, communicative, and efficient. Thoroughly recommended.

Following an unfortunate situation, I received a court summons for travelling without a train ticket. I reached out to Samir Moftah at Manak Solicitors for help with my case. With a court date set for just over a week's time, Samir worked extremely quickly to try and resolve the situation. From the first consultation, he reassured me that he would do everything within his power to get me the best result. He was extremely professional and managed to secure a settlement for me within 3 days despite the complications with my case. I would recommend that anybody facing the same situation reach out to Samir Moftah. If anybody can help, it is him. Thank you once again for your services.

A legal dispute spanning over two years was a traumatic experience.I was lucky enough to have Ms Mali Smith at Manak Solicitors on my side. She was professional, attention to detail, a good listener (the best I have met with) and was easily approachable. Her diary was a perfection, I never had to follow up.The two words missing in her vocabulary were NO and CAN'T.I cannot thank Ms Smith enough for being a brilliant solicitor and an amazing person.

I had a problem with a commercial lease and break clause, which involved a business partner and a landlord in a shop premises in Bexleyheath.A document was made for me to sign before i left the lease and shop which i didn't understand too well. After contacting Surrinder at manak solicitors, he strongly advised me to not sign it as there was a clause in there that would still make me a guarantor for the lease over the next 7 years. Which in effect could of ruined me years down the line.He walked me through each step and told me what had to be done, it took a while to complete over 6 months but this was due to problems with the landlord and their solicitor. Surrinder and his team handled my case in a very professional manner, getting me out of the lease liability completely with any issues i may of had with my ex business partner.I cant thank them enough, if i hadn't sought their legal advice and used their services i would be in a very different position right now.Many thanks to all the team at The Gravesend and Orpington Branches.

Nosheen is very friendly, helpful and informative, and took us through the process of drafting our wills very efficiently. Nosheen answered all of our questions with professionalism and courtesy. We had a lot of questions, to make sure everything we were advised, was what we actually needed and Nosheen provided this. No matter how silly you may think your question is, please ask. I'm glad I did. Thank you Nosheen and the team. Dawn
